Ian, will you be picking up Smash Bros or Splatoon? It seems like you may have been interested in that bundle.
Also, are there any eShop titles that pique your interests?
Nothing on the eShop is specifically interesting me right now but I haven't really looked, just going by reputation. The bundle interested me since with two games that both look pretty good it seemed like the best deal. They're more games I'm sure I would enjoy if they came with the system but not titles I'm specifically interested in. They seem like impulse buys if I could find them cheap, which probably won't happen any time soon since they're first party titles.
Actually that's something else that hurts the Wii U a bit. If you go buy one of the other consoles it isn't hard to find tons of good titles in the cheap bin at Wal-Mart, some of which aren't even a year old. Nintendo's titles don't drop in price like that and they don't have enough third party support to help fill the bin. The cheap bin Wii U titles are like shovelware based on kids TV shows and stuff like that. I don't think "have more games in the cheap bin" is something to specifically aim for but it is just something that makes the console a little less enticing to consumers. It's like during the N64 years it was really favourable for the PlayStation to have these cheap bargain titles while N64 cartridges remained expensive. It's something that would fix itself if they improved third party support.
Oh and my Pikmin 3 disc isn't working. Gives some error about the disc being dirty, though it can tell that the disc is Pikmin 3. The store has a good policy about returning used games within 30 days so I'll get my money back. My concern is that since Mario Kart is pre-installed, this is the only physical Wii U disc I've tried on my console. For all I know my disc drive is defective. I have a Wii U owner friend coming by in about a week so I think I'll ask him to bring another disc so I can test.
